Stefanie Ouwerkerk

About Stefanie

Food and movement shape how I live and how I counsel. With five years as a registered dietitian and a BS in Nutrition and Dietetics from the University of North Florida, I draw on clinical hospital experience and private practice to support people in Jacksonville. As an RDN and LDN I focus on practical, science-based guidance that fits everyday life. Off the clock I love cooking with my family, taking Pilates and cycle classes, and tending my garden.

Approach to care

I blend current science with real-world plans we can actually keep. Practicing from a weight-neutral, Health At Every Size perspective, I focus on behaviors and wellbeing rather than numbers. We'll set clear, actionable steps and build accountability together, using evidence-based strategies that respect the whole person, including sleep, stress, movement and your relationship with food. I aim to teach practical skills so changes stick beyond our sessions, all in a warm, nonjudgmental space.

Your first session with Stefanie

Expect a relaxed, thorough conversation where we'll review your medical history, take a deep look at your relationship with food, and identify short-term goals that feel doable. This visit is judgment-free, so you don't need to have everything figured out beforehand. Together we'll prioritize a couple of practical steps, outline how we'll measure progress, and set clear next moves so you leave feeling supported and confident about the path forward.
